Smart Pipe Company, Inc. and Bio-Clean International Inc. Affiliate Launch Smart Pipe Marketing and Sales Program
Bio-Clean International, Inc. (Pink Sheets: BCLE) (
www.bio-cleanintl.com) announced today that the Company has launched a new comprehensive marketing and sales campaign with Smart Pipe Company, Inc., which recently signed a teaming agreement with Bio-Clean affiliate, American Bio-Clean Corporation. Smart Pipe Company, Inc. is a portfolio company of Shell Technology Ventures Fund 1 B.V. (“STV Fund”), with the majority owner of STV Fund being Royal Dutch Shell PLC.
Smart Pipe's new process, which brings new life to aging pipelines, is efficient to install, friendly to the environment, and highly cost-effective, because the old pipe does not have to be dug up and replaced. Smart Pipe saves time and expense by inserting a new, flexible, long-life pipe liner into the old pipeline.
John P. Finn, President of American Bio Clean, said, “ABC and Smart Pipe teamed up for the National Veteran Small Business Convention and Expo held in Las Vegas last week, which was very successful. We are excited about our new joint marketing and sales efforts which will utilize the synergy between the Smart Pipe product and our Company.”
Steve Catha, CEO of Smart Pipe stated, “This is a positive step in launching our new sales program and introducing a unique product that is constructed of a high-strength, light-weight, monitored, reinforced thermoplastic pipe which can be used for the rehabilitation of an existing pipeline or as stand alone replacement. With millions of miles of aging pipelines that need to be rehabilitated, we believe that American Bio-Clean will provide Smart Pipe the avenue to bid on not only government solicitations, but any and all solicitations from those that must meet their SDVOSB-mandated spending requirements.”
